Wiring multi engine edf
I have the Airbus A380 edf. I bought new escs for it. Can I use Y-harnesses to connect all the power wires and all the servo wires so they run from one battery and one receiver?

Too long battery wires can kill ESC: precautions, solutions & workarounds - RCG
Keep controller(s) close to battery, if possible, and extend motor wires instead.
Keep the battery wires short, or else install extra capacitors, all on/near ESC.

I'm not referring to the HobbyKrap opto nonsense/lies, where opto means no-BEC. (I call a car without a steering wheel diesel. Very obvious, right?).

Do not cut the red wire, you may need it again in another plane.
